If I am going to set up my tank for ATW with the Neptune DOS do I also need to have an ATO?

Since my calcium reactor cant seem to keep up with my alkalinity needs, would it be feasible to dump some kalk into my saltwater container? I've implemented automatic water change of about 7500ml/day. Would there be issues like clogging the lines, burning up my DOS, screwing up the chemistry?

I’ve never made a build thread. Figured I’d give it a shot. I currently have a 105g DSA tank and have tangs and a trigger that are outgrowing it. I purchased a 140g tank that has been floating around a few local members and was never set back up. Tank is 60x30x18 and the fish should like it...

My Doser for my AWC;s! I have this dosing pump hooked up to my saltwater mixing station. It transfers water from my salt barrel to my sump, etc.

I just picked up an AutoAqua AWC/ATO for my IM 40 system. I'm in the process of setting up a water change/mixing station and needed an ATO solution for the RODI reservoir. While looking at the options that I'd trust, I decided my existing Hydrofill was going to be a safe bet but left my tank...

Here is a do-not attempt to DIY o_O I ordered a Dual Head Peristaltic pump off ebay for ~$30 for an Auto Water Change system.. Do a search and I'll bet you can find it. Upon testing the dual head for even rate, I found that they were around 8-10ml/min off from one another. Figured I would let...

The Question: Is Doing an Auto water change as effective as a traditional drain first then refill change? It would seem to me that a concurrent WC would not remove as much NO3 and PO4 as a traditional change. Any thoughts on this? Some Background: I'm in the midst of a new tank build, so of...

Really looking for to an in depth look at AWC systems and options - specifically what salt mix can be stored in a reservoir and the viability of the practice. Is this still a slated thing?

Water changes for me consisted of syphoning rodi water into 5 gal buckets in the basement, hauling them up the stairs. I would then mix and heat the saltwater overnight with spare pumps and heaters. Next day I would syphon water from the tank to a mark on the side glass, then pump the new water...
